QEH ISSUE …

Call for multi-pronged approach

Kota Kinabalu: The Visitors Board of Queen Elizabeth Hospital said a multi-pronged approach is needed to resolve the QEH issue.

Its Chairman, Chu Kong Ming, said the (proposed procurement of) the Sabah Medical Centre (SMC), Wisma Khidmat, (construction of QEH) Twin Towers, new heart centre and Kinarut Hospital plan should be handled simultaneously rather than one at a time.

"The approach not only resolves the impression of neglect and indecisiveness of the Federal leaders, it also augurs well with the Government's intention to revive the economy by developing infrastructure assets for long-term benefit to the State and country, as a whole,".

 

'Better option overlooked'

Kota Kinabalu: The best and quickest solution in overcoming the current shortage of hospital beds while at the same time save several hundred million ringgit of tax payers' money in the current downturn will be to convert Hospital Mesra in Bukit Padang, Luyang, into a general hospital.

"It would also be very straightforward to find a replacement for these mental patients," he told Daily Express. "Besides, the Government will also have site set amidst greenery that aids in recuperation and whatever that's needed could be added on because there is ample land for expansion there.
